Cancer Support en Español.
February 12, 2003
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the American Cancer Society are pleased to announce three new resources available to Spanish-speaking patients and their families.
Ovarian Cancer, Melanoma, and Fever and Neutropenia are the newest additions to the Treatment Guidelines for Patients with Cancer series in the Spanish language. Other Spanish titles include Breast Cancer, Colon and Rectal Cancer, Lung Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Cancer Pain, Nausea and Vomiting, and Cancer-Related Fatigue.
The series, available in booklet form or online (http://www.nccn.org), is dedicated to educating patients and their families about cancer.
“NCCN welcomes the opportunity to bring these new cancer guidelines to the Spanish-speaking community,” said Rodger J. Winn, M.D., chairman of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s Guidelines Steering Committee. “We hope that, by providing patients and doctors with similar resources, we can bridge the language barrier and help them make critical decisions as a team.”
